We had the distinct pleasure of talking with Jim Rugg about...almost everything! Here's a short list of some topics we discussed:

- Podcasting, building a local listenership and being part of a community
- The new back issue market
- Image Comics: Then and now
- 90s comics and the comics renaissance in the early 2000s
- Media influence on comics reading
- Creative challenges and separating creators from their work
- Can Marvel/DC still bring in new/casual readers?
- Webcomics/indie/art comics
- Jim's previous/current work, creative influences, "This #*?! Isn't Very Funny", future shows and, of course, Rob Liefeld

Make sure to check out Jim's exhibit, This #*?! Isn't Very Funny, which runs at the ToonSeum from March 29th-May 6th. An opening reception will take place on March 29th from 7pm-9:30pm.

Unless you've been living off the grid for the past week, you know The Walking Dead has wrapped up its second season and it was a doozy. Dan, Jeff (recording from The Commonplace Coffeehouse) and Link (from Yamagato Industries Business Report) and his wife Caitlyn talk about MAJOR events from the end of the season, who lived, who died, what surprised us, and what's in store for season 3.
